Happy Anniversary to Us… la la la. Yesterday was our 9th wedding anniversary, and PisecoDad was home from work to share the day. We didn’t do anything spectacular, but enjoyed our day thoroughly. We played many games in the morning (probably the best gift is having a 5 year old boy who plods down the stairs, fresh from bed, and eagerly questions us: “GAME??” - our traditional way of inviting a game…). We went out for a little bit of shopping at some thrift stores and then came back to our nest and spent more time together. In the evening I had a UU meeting so the boys played at Chuck E Cheese and I met them there for a few games of skee ball before bed. It was low-key and perfectly suited to us - just like our wedding nine years ago.
Today we surprised JediBoy with a spontaneous road trip to a commercial cave about two hours from our house. He’d never been there before, and the whole ride he was asking for hints about where we were going. Even when we got to the property, he didn’t know what to expect - until the parking attendant mentioned “the cave” in his spiel. Boy, did those blue eyes get wiiiide. He was so thrilled. We had to wait about half an hour before our tour time, but we poked around outside and smushed pennies in the penny-smusher-machine while we waited. The hour-plus tour was everything he’d hoped it would be. We spent time afterwards in the gift shop and bought him a bag of silt to sift for gemstones in the trough outside. He slept happily the whole ride home. It was a marvelous day.
